U.S. Labor Market: Older, Poorer and Underutilized

Econintersect: The Conference Board’s director of macroeconomic research, Gad Levanon, has  2012 forecasts relative to the labor market in the USA.  In a nutshell, he sees yin and yang – low layoffs and low hiring.

This all works together to create an aging workforce and downward forces on wages for unskilled and entry level jobs.

His forecasts:


  1. Disappointing employment growth
    • Mostly in the structurally impaired industries: construction, finance, and state and local government.
    • Meanwhile, the rest of the workforce is growing at rates typical of periods of expansion.
    • Weak job creation but very low layoff rate.
  2. Gradual decline in a still very high (8.6%)unemployment rate
    • Part of the decline is a continuing increase in the percent of people who want a job but stopped looking for one (and are therefore not counted as unemployed.)
    • Much of the decline in the unemployment rate in the past year is in production, engineering and computer related occupations.
    • The overall high unemployment rate is likely to remain high for quite a while.
    • Long term unemployment at historical highs.
    • Tight labor markets are beginning to develop in the resource rich heartland.
  3. Lowest wage and salary growth in decades
    • Employers manage to keep slow growth rates in wages partly due to relatively low pay to new hires from both colleges and unemployment.
    • Benefits costs are rising. Not only healthcare, but also reinstituting other benefits that were cut during the recession.
  4. The workforce is getting older fast
    • Part of it is the large baby boom cohorts getting older.
    • Part of it is workers delaying retirement.
  5. Low labor turnover rate.
  6. Relatively low labor productivity growth in the past 6 quarters. What is the new trend in labor productivity?
  7. The higher unemployment in low paying occupations is leading to slower wage growth in these occupations and to rising wage inequality.
